McGinley delighted after Errigal win 'cagey' game

Enda McGinley watches his Errigal team in action against St Eunan's

Errigal Ciaran manager Enda McGinley is happy to progress to the Ulster Club SFC quarter-finals after a 0-12 to 0-10 win over St Eunan's on Saturday night.

Donegal side St Eunan's led the preliminary round match at Healy Park going into added time before a three-point burst won it for the Tyrone champions.

Ben O'Donnell hit a double before Thomas Canavan sealed the victory and a meeting with Antrim team Cargin.

"It was a very tense game - it was cagey and both teams didn't hit top gear," said McGinley.

"I was wearing a watch that does your heart-rate. I've never had an alert on it in terms of high heart-rate but I got one this evening. That just about sums up the game.

"But sometimes the Ulster club championship is like that. You don't know the opposition as well as you might"

McGinley believes last weekend's victory over holders Trillick in the Tyrone decider impacted his team's performance.

"It's difficult to get focus - it was coming off the high of getting over Trillick and what that meant to the boys so it was difficult to handle that in the week and try to get the energy right for today.

"I'm just delighted. There were many excuses in that game to lose it - it felt like one of those games where it just wasn't going to happen for us.

"It wasn't going to click but the boys didn't accept those excuses and managed to get over the line. I'm delighted with how they finished."
